Cover Story: Microbial adsorbents are biomass-based sorbents that have extensively demonstrated excellent heavy metal removal capacity, even at low concentrations. However, most of the research on their application in wastewater treatment has been performed in discontinuous systems. The use of microorganisms in continuous systems could be an important step for the upscaling of remediation processes since it facilitates a faster remediation of higher quantities of wastewaters loaded with heavy metals. Thus, the current research aims to analyze the available studies, focusing on the removal of metal ions from wastewaters using microorganisms, in continuous systems, with a focus on obtained performances, optimized experimental conditions, and process sustainability.
